On the road
Driving
Drives well and handles the corners with gusto. Its a nice car to be in and gives you enough power to overtake and pull out. Have driven on the M1 for 4 hours which was absolutely fine.
Performance
Grips the corners, Sometimes feels really lumpy on bumpy roads because of the sports suspension. Hates the speed bumps so drive really slowly.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems as yet but I am keeping an eye on coolant levels and oil.
Image
Still and head tuner but all over the place by now understandably. Good bodywork and a clean car means that it still get noticed. Top down and its so much fun.
Comfort
I'm 5'10 so its ok for me but any taller and you would have problems. Seats are not that bad but drive on my own a lot - two people and its really snug.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm and immobilizer - garaged at night so no problems as yet.
Service
MG woes and the fact the car is not new means I will take it to a local service agent.
